Wednesday's wonderful fact
Did you know that in the '90s, North Korean teachers were required to play the accordion?
Famously mysterious North Korea is full of surprises, not the least of which is its cultural fondness for the accordion. The musical squeezebox is known as the "people's instrument," because it's convenient size makes it ideal to take on marches.
For years, the accordion has been taught in North Korean schools. It's no wonder, then, why in the '90s, teachers were required to pass an accordion exam to get the job, according to interviews from the book Nothing to Envy: Ordinary Lives in North Korea.
